Open source alternatives are a threat. They cannot control information there. I bet all of them are blacklisted.

Manjaro. I've never known a distro break as much as this.

I generally don't like to judge distro's, because they've all got pros and cons. With Manjaro, the pros column is pretty empty :).

No, just buy a Nissan Leaf...

Not all electric vehicles are Tesla...

Checkmate!

I wonder if this came from engineering or the marketing department.

I'm getting "Let's do this, and if it fails (which it will), it'll look like we're really confident in our self-drive and are a challenger in the market" vibes.

Even if you have excellent self-drive, there is no logical reason not to have a backup steering wheel just to intervene in case. Tbh, I had no idea they were even in the self-drive market which may be their true problem. No one really knows.

I don't want to interact with anyone on Threads. It is new and it is Facebook.

Definitely would agree with this. The best of a bad bunch. I use it for nearly all my search.

Did see some sketchy stuff with the android app/browser so probably would avoid... and besides, I'm in a decades long relationship with firefox <3.

They don't want it to succeed. Their buddies want folk in the office 5 days a week.

Tankies suck, and Conservatives suck imho. They may share shitty views, which is complete nonsense, but I'm finding it a wee bit weird that a Conservative, who I'd assume is all for freedom of speech is trying to shut down speech. I've been here for days now, and I've not seen anything from Lemmygrad. I know it's there, and I don't want to dip my toe in and it's not being thrown down my throat. It's pretty obvious what it is from the name. If I want some weird alt right nonsense, I'd check out truth social or telegram. You know what you're getting.

"Let's get away from the reddit top down control, and implement top down control here". Hmmm...

Take that data with a pinch of salt. Their comments per day surpasses total Lemmy comments for all time it seems: https://the-federation.info/platform/73

It's still great growth, and a first solid phase of the migration! :)

Here here! For all it's weaknesses, I'm learning to love Lemmy and it's strengths.

Definitely the hardest to compete against, but if people come here, they will become aware of alternatives like Odysee and peer tube.

I do agree with you. It's a universe of federated software and matrix is federated. ActivityPub is an implementation of an idea.

The joke has probably gone over my head, but great to see.

Another thought I had was some of the Active posts here get around 1.5k to 2k upvotes. Often on reddit, that is around 20-30k. So Lemmy could be around a 10th of that size.

Potentially in terms of activity, there is the passive consumption side of reddit (which is massive), and the active contributor side. Even if Lemmy is doing well in terms of the active contributor side, that is very useful to draw in the passive consumers. Potentially many want something known and trusted and maybe are less tech savvy. They may follow good content.

I think the high weekend load and mass migration is load testing it to new heights.

Wankers... (the lawmakers, not PH)

It's my main search in my browser, so I don't even type it. Would strongly recommend.

It cannot hurt. It was shite when I used it.

I said you're wonderful stranger. Keep being you (unless you are a dickhead. But I'm sure you're not)
